What is a Prenup? 

A prenuptial agreement, commonly referred to as a prenup or "antenuptial" agreement in Georgia, is a legal document drawn up by lawyers on behalf of two people who plan to get married. This contract details each individual's assets and how they'll be handled in the event of a divorce. 

Prenups can cover a variety of financial aspects, including:

  • Property Rights: A prenup can specify who has the right to buy, sell, use, transfer, exchange, abandon, lease, consume, expend, assign, create a security interest in, mortgage, encumber, dispose of, or otherwise manage and control property.
  • Debt Liability: The agreement can protect each spouse from being liable for the other's debt.
  • Separation of Assets: It can help ensure that each spouse leaves the marriage with the property they brought into it.
  • Spousal Support: The prenup can determine ahead of time how much alimony a spouse will pay post-divorce, or it might waive alimony altogether.

Every prenuptial agreement in Georgia must be in writing and signed by both parties in the presence of at least two witnesses, who must also sign the document. This ensures the validity of the agreement.

While it might seem unromantic, a prenuptial agreement can provide financial clarity and security for couples before they enter into marriage. It is often used to protect the financial interests of each party and can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have significant assets, own a business, or have children from a previous marriage.

However, the specifics of each case can impact the creation and enforcement of a prenuptial agreement. Therefore, it's always advisable to consult with a legal professional when creating a prenup in Georgia.
